Stronger and Healthier Community
Message from Foundation Leadership
Dear Friends,
Monmouth Medical Center serves our community by empowering donors and our neighbors to transform healthcare in Monmouth County and the surrounding areas. Over the past several years the Foundation has been leveraging philanthropy as a means to providing world-class medical services to our community.
This year MMCF will support a wide range of initiatives. The near future sees the funding of programs, services and the clinical teams as a reality. Looking forward, we plan to invest in a new and innovative medical campus situated in Tinton Falls, as well as several satellite centers devoted to primary and ambulatory care.
Accessibility to exceptional healthcare is a priority. Without the support and engagement of our donors, our partners in philanthropy, businesses, and supportive non-profit organizations, none of these accomplishments will be realized.
As the newly appointed chair of the Board, I am optimistic about the future of our region. Together with Tara Kelly, Foundation VP, and the Monmouth Medical Center Foundation Board of Trustees, we plan to create a solid infrastructure for trustees and staff by streamlining our procedural support systems. This will serve as a means to accomplishing clear and concise communication, and will allow MMCF to properly present the goals and direction of Monmouth Medical Center/RWJ Barnabas Health to you, our community members. We are especially proud of the Foundation's work this past year in ensuring a brighter, healthier tomorrow for all residents of Monmouth County and beyond as noted in the following pages.
As 2018 comes to a close, we are grateful to you for your compassion and your philanthropy, which fuels the work of the physicians and the clinical teams here at Monmouth Medical Center.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season!
With sincere appreciation,
Claire Knopf
Board Chair
